Be it known that I ,SAUL SoH L oFF, a

citizen-of the United tates, residing at the city of Philadelphia' ,;inthe county of Philadelphia and Stat'of Pennsylvania,- have invented. a certain new and Improved ProtectiveRubber Cap with Stopple for Milk- Bottles, of which the following is a specification. i V

My invention has relation with an integral springdike stopple, for a milk bottle so arranged tect, the flanged wall of the mouth of said bottle against chipping or scalingand the stopple to engage the recess .of said flangedv IIlOllt-l'LSO as toherinetically seal the contents of the said bottle against foreign or extraneous matter to thus provide a thor- '-oughly protectedand sanitary bottle, ,rfor

containing lacteal or other-fluids I The nature andscopebf my present invention will be more fully understood from the following description taken. in connection with "the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, in which-f r Figure 1, is a verticallongitudinal section of a bottle provided with a protectiverubber' cap having an integral. spring-like stopple of a type,.einbodying the particular main eatu'res of my present invention; and Fig.

the spring-like stopple snuglyifitting the rep cessed 'inner-wall'in the neck about the fiangedmouth of-saidjbottle. 1

' The cap with its stopple is preferably germ life or foreign not toafi'ect the contents in any manner and yet the cap is sufliciently elastic or yielding to permit of quickhandling for removing and the stoppleis so formed as to spring snugly into the recessed seat so as to maintain its seating under any overturning of the bottle either accidentally or otherwise.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set scribing witnesses.
